2017 Mechanics Trial Entry Pack

“THE MECHANICS TRIAL originates from the late 1970’s when our Headquaters were located at the Mechanics Arms in Chalford. The Landlord and landlady, Jim & Liz Polly, presented the Mechanics Trophy to the Club giving us an opportunity to run an event in the pub’s name. The first Mechanics Trial ran in 1979 and was organised by Nigel Moss, Eric and Diana Wall. The single venue Classic Trial was held within a few miles of the pub in Badgers Wood, Cowcombe, Chalford. The event continued to run at various single venues including Catswood and Sallywood from 1984 to 2001. In 2002 the event ventured out onto the road with Gill and Edwin Hayward doing a great deal of work to create a brand new road trial for the club. Various organising teams have since kept the event on the road.

This year’s event is organised by a similar team to last year with, it will feature old favourite hills such as wood Lane and Viaduct and will follow a similar format to recent successful years. The trial will include a couple of old sections used on the Cotswold Clouds in the early 80’s Hobbs Choice a gentle rocky climb and a trick old favourite Bulls Cross. The event offers what we hope is a good day’s motorsport visiting some different parts of the Cotswold’s to our Cotswold Clouds Trial in February. The organising team make every effort to give all competitors a chance to climb some sections during the day but also making some a great challenge. The Mechanics Trial will run on a Clubman’s permit which means you do not need a competition licence. IF YOU ARE NOT COMPETING ON THE EVENT PLEASE CONSIDER MARSHALLING.”
